You are cordially invited to the most glamorous post-Oscar party in Hollywood. Mingle with all types of people in the entertainment business including the most recent Oscar winning actress and resident diva, an up-and-coming director, a maven of red carpet reporting, a hapless and harried personal assistant, a well respected but often ignored multiple winner of the Science and Technical Academy Award, his niece from Kansas with an extreme fascination of movies and absolutely no filter in her comments, and a surprise guest who shows up wearing...well, you have to come to the show to find out. One of these characters will not survive the evening and another one of them will make sure of it!

Travel back in time to 1966. The newly formed Elk Grove Village Park District has received mixed reactions from the local community. A prominent and extremely upbeat citizen seeks to become the first director of the Park District and has organized a meet-and-greet event to win favor with the community. Several people join in the festivities: a grumpy and paranoid farmer, a children's librarian who carries around a stuffed elephant, a local businessman who is highly enthusiastic about a brand new TV show called Star Trek, a first-year high school math teacher who has the urge to protest pretty much anything under the sun, a village employee who writes the community newsletter but has aspirations of being a TV news reporter, and a free-spirit hippie outsider who has random premonitions. One of these seven individuals will die during the course of the evening. The other six will be suspects with motives, means, and opportunities to have committed the murder.

It would be the typical Mother's Day brunch, but this family is anything but typical. Mom has had to wait for 2 weeks after Mother's Day to celebrate because her five offbeat children can never agree on anything. There's Neil, her favorite, who is most interested in himself, fashion, and being pampered. Anything or anyone else is a distant second. There's Jane, who goes all out to get her mother to notice and praise her. There's Mikey, who is part of the local forest preserve police but desperately wants to join the city force. There's Carrie and Terry, twins who are inseparable and have the tendency to finish each other's sentences. They believe they're identical twins even though they are not. And then Uncle Paul shows up out of the blue. He hasn't been around for decades. What does he have up his sleeve? One of these characters will die, and the rest of them will be suspects. Can you solve the case of Murder's Day?

It's Valentine's Day, and Cupid is hosting his annual exclusive party to celebrate love and romance. Not everyone is enchanted with Cupid on this occasion, however. Six quirky individuals--whom Cupid labels as "misfits when it comes to love"--have arrived at the party. These misfits include a self-proclaimed nerd who lives with her parents and is obsessed with baking and the Food Network, an eight-time divorcee who has just come from an event at which he performed as a clown, a successful business woman who has no time for love except for her six cats, a homeless man with a limp, an aspiring puppeteer with a severely flirty hand puppet, and the Grim Reaper himself. These six all have some issues with Cupid. During the course of the evening, someone is going to die. Will Cupid survive? Will love survive?
